Fair Play.

In several counties in the State there
are no nominations made for county
officers, and in one district ut least
there is none made for District AttOr-
ney. In such cases it surely is per
fectly in keeping with good faith as
Democrat for each candidate to use
all fair and honorable means to Sc
cure us many Republican and cOlorcd
votes as he can. BY the constitution
and laws of this State, and of the
United States, the vote of the negro
is allowed to count in such contest
and by the action of the Democracy of
such county or district it is recognized
as proper their votes should he
taken with the white votes in making
Il choice between the candidates, and
it is perfectly natural that each candi-
date, whose election depends upon the
number of votes he receives, should
try to get as many votes as he can,
whether they are the votes of whites
or blacks, Democrats, Republicans or
Greenbackers. In doing so he does
not give cause to have his politics
called in question. If he should pre-
tend to one man to be Democrat and
to another one to be Republican,
such would he duplicity. But when
he avows his Democracy on all occa-
sions where it is necessary or proper
for him to do so, or where his politics
are asked for, and still asks Republi-
cans to support him, and they do sup
port him, white and black, and work
for his election with IL zeal, no fair
minded man will cenSure him for
it. When you find man who
does pretend to censure him for it,
he is only using that as Il pre-
text, and he is really prompted by
some other motive than the
r,:riticatiOn of Democratic politics.
We know men who have never been
anything bet Democrats, and who have
on all occasions lahOrcd for Democra-
cy, who have always been so eminently
Just and fair to the negro i'll all their
dealings with them that when ali the
candidates are Democrats the negroes
would work for the election of one of
these men with all the zeal oftheirna-
turc, and this does not tend to prove
that he has pondered TO the negro
but that the negro appreciates such Il
man. The white people of the State
have always placed high estimate
upon EIanlincsS, courage and fairness
wherever found, and they are always
glad TO see these qualities appreciated
by the negro-Ne'c Mississippjon.

A Nashville correspondent writes the
following: "During the Presidents
reception to-day, while many poorly
dressed people, evidently farmers and
working men and women, were pass
ing before him, Mr.. Cleveland admin
istered striking rebuke to ii num-
ber of well-dressed people, who, hav-
ing been presented, had stepped back
of him and were making unkind re-
marks touching the personal appear
ance of those passing along in front.
Hearing the remarks and the laughter,
the President said: These good peO-
pie are here out of respect to me.
am not willing for you to make sport
of them. 1t is not right The
laughter and comment ceased"

Youthful COnVictS.

On January LIST, 1886, the date of the
last report ofthe Superintendent of the
Mississippi Penitcntiary, the prison
register showed that there We're 16e
convictS out of Il total population OF
Sl2, under the age of majority when
they were sentenced. Nearly one
fourth sen fenced during their minor
ity.
In 1860 there were only 1863 convictS
and now there are i'll this prison it,
many boys, and among these quite 4
number of IL and II Years of age.
And yet there are some people who
will persist in setting up the large priS-
on population as ii reason why tn,
State cannot take control of its con
victs.
The apologistS for the leasing syS-
tenn are the worst pessimists i'll the

Two Brothers and One Bale.

We learn that two brothers in
WAYNE county who had been farm
ing together, one day this week
started into Waynesboro with Il
bale of cotton to deliver for rent.
One of them sat on the bale of cotton
drawing dense fumes from his pipe
and sending them shooting and cir
cling up like steam engine. The
other brother was sitting in front
driving the team. A spark from his
pipe set the bale on fire, sprang up
into flame and intruded its angry
presence upon the attention of the as
tonished brothers. They smothered
the flame, pulled ont all the cotton
containing fire and drove on Il short
distance when they discovered more
smoke.
They stopped, pulled out more
cotton, filled up the place with damp
earth and drove on again. Soon they
saw that the fire was not out, and
being near creek, rolled the bale off
the wagon into the creek, and not
withstanding this the flame broke
OUT afresh while in the creek and
consumed the cotton the brothers
doing all in their power to save it.
Then the brothers tried their power
to express their sentiments, and find
ing they couldn't do the subject

State the terrible expense of long
protracted trial to say nothing of the
long confinement. of weak, suffering
man. Surely the courts would never
allow an honorable man to he impris-
oned-especially after he had stood
upon the very threshold of eternity
and with the death dew upon his lips
declared, with meek and tremulous
voice, 81 belted he'll ont Of kim"-a dy-
ing declaration that will never die,
because it is expressive of the noblest
type of heroic courage!
But at last q. little ray flight seems
only seems-to have shot athwart
the tides of their darkened and be-
nighted minds, for another ground of
the plea sets forth facts far more start
ling than any yet mentioned, namely,
that Hamilton had been deprived of Il
sacred right guaranteed him by the
constitution of his country, that of be-
ing allowed to confront the States
witnesses.
Can it be true my countrymen, that
Mississippi has reached such a low
stage that its commonwealth are ac-
tually allowed to impose this with
impunity on innocent lawyers, because
forsooth they may be ignorant of the
constitutional rights of their clients.
We think that the next Legislature
should hasten to pass Il law protecting
such lawyers from SO terrible an i'm
position and so gross an injustice.
But these prosecuting attorneys are
fonnd to be guilty of even greater inn
positions. 1t seems that they actual
ly took some good eye witnesses away
from the helpless counsel for defense
and wouldn't let them have them du-
ring the entire trial-thus compelling
counsel to go on with the case without
their most honorable, most competent,
most knowing and hence, most needed
witnesses, such as Beverly Randall,
Sue Vallery and w. H. Gibbs.
Men Of Mississippi, will You stand
quietly by and allow these horrible
prosecuting attorneys to take such un-
fair advantage of tcN, it, - and ir-
rational creatures who know not
what to do? In view of all the soul
stirring facts mentioned above we
call upon all who are opposed to per
scouting the innocent and Expressing
the weak to rise up in the strength
and dignity Of true manhood and de-
mand that the court shall no longer
deny Col. Hamilton his legal right
by allowing the trial to proceed with
out even giving him counsel for his
defence.
1t is high time that the court WAS
arriving at a sense of its sworn duty in
this case, and we hope that the
gross injustice will no longer he done

without proper counsel to defend him
and plead his innocence.

mands made by the National Farmers
Alliance in convention at Shreve-

They are sound to the core and
show in ringing language the more
important purposes of this great body,
and the ends they propose to achieve.
Next week we will publish the de-
mands in full, though we give below
the important ones, not having re-
celved them in time to print all in this
issue.
This body is composed of farmers
representing all the Southern States,
anu the resolutions appended were
passed unanimously, and we heartily
endorse them.
Resolved, That we, the National
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, in convention
assembled advocate and endorse the
following principles as in accord with
the sentiments and demands of the
tllers of the soil:
LIST. We demand, first, the recog-
milton, by Incorporation, of trades
unions, cooperative stores and such
other associations as may be organ
lied by the industrial classes to i'm
prove their financial condition, or pro-
mote their general welfare.
Ind. We demand that all public
lands be held in small bodies, not
exceeding three hundred and twenty
acres to each purchaser, for act
ual settlers, on easy terms of pay
ment.
4th. That whereas, large bodies OF
our public lands, have been sold to
foreign capitalists, thus tending to
Tue establishment of landed aris-
'ocraey in this country, similar to
mat which has reduced the people

SWORD g. SHIELD: The elegant
Baptist church in West Point was
burned recently, through the careless
ness of some drunken painters. We
sympathize heartily with our friends.
Truly those saloons there have shown
clearly what they can do to those whu
never drink or go near them. Saloons
are not only dangerous to men who
drink, but even the sanctuary of the
living God. How many more such
incidents as this will be needed Ia
arouse our men.

The Gallatin Tennesseean says:
Rev. W. M. Robson, the evangelist,
returned according to agreement and
began the meeting here in good earn.
est on last Sabbath at the Presby tec
rian church. His sermons thus far are
said to be the finest series ever
preached in Gallatin. His sermon on
Sunday last on "The Water of Life
captivated every nearer. On Mons
day night, his sermon on "The Wa.
ges of Sin is Death" was another mas
terly effort. He said he would not
cross the line to find hell. He would
find more of it than he wanted to see
right here in Gallatin.
He then proceeded to show that
the wages of sin is death.
l. TO a community financially.
2. To community morally, etc.
On Tuesday night he preached on
the subject of religion, which was a
fine sermon. !
On Wednesday night be preached
a powerful sermon on the subject OF
faith. 1t was pronounced by minis.
tiers, and laiety alike, to be the finest
discourse they ever heard on the sub.
ject.
Mr.. Robson is now beginning to
get a hold upon our people, and as
this is union meeting in which every
church in town is taking an active
part, it is hoped much good will be
done.
The meeting will likely be held in
some of the other churches next week
as it is proposed to go to all the
churches.

not enough temperance people living
in Nashville and visitors to that city
to give restaurant living without
